HODGSON 
Portable 
HOUSES 
“Every satisfaction and comfort” 
P EOPLE who live in Hodgson Portable Houses are en¬ 
thusiastic in their praise. From all parts of the world 
come letters of highest commendation. 
Says one owner, “I cannot say too much in praise of my 
Hodgson Cottage.” Another writes, “The house is a source 
of constant joy”; and still another, “All I could say in favor 
of Hodgson Portable Houses would only half express the 
pleasure I take in using them.” 
Hodgson Houses are shipped in sections, painted, stained 
and finished to the smallest detail in our workshops. These 
sections fit tightly together—absolutely moisture proof. 
Our new catalog shows many beautiful photographs of 
Hodgson Houses. Also portable garages, dog kennels, poultry- 
houses, etc. Write for catalog K to-day and look over the 
plans. A request places you under no obligation.

Gentlemen:—Absence from home has caused 
the delay in my replying to your letter of 
October 23d. 
It has been a very dry, cool summer here; but 
1 have had the best of success with all my veg¬ 
etables and flowers; in fact this was the first 
summer I have been able to raise head lettuce 
and I had a bumper crop, for I was able to get 
the water when and where I wanted it. 
1 find your system is far superior to wetting 
things with a hose; because it acts as a shower 
and does not wash the crop out of the ground 
—it is a great time saver as well. 
I am more than pleased with the way it has 
worked this past summer and can heartily 
recommend it. Yours truly, 
Wm. H. Doubleday, Jr.
